VIDEO: Off Duty Female Cop Shoots Attacking Man

“Didn’t I just say I’d kill you?” the officer asks after the third and final shot is fired. “Didn’t I just say I’d kill you?”

An arrest report shows the cop told responding officers that the shooting happened after she witnessed “a verbal argument.” She said Smith grabbed her from behind and reached for her gun “in an attempt to disarm her.”

She and Smith eventually fell to the ground while struggling for the gun, the report states. The officer then opened fire, striking Smith in his abdomen and left hand. Smith was taken into custody and brought to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead on Jan. 20.
